  • You got the gas
    I got the matches
    We gonna turn this town to ashes
    'Cause they ain't never seen nothing like us
    Ain't heard loud till we turn it up
    I got the wild
    You got the crazy
    You know that's why I love you baby
    'Cause your motor runs just as fast as mine
    Pedal to the metal, keep your throttle down all night
    And we only get one life

    Ain't scared to ride this train
    Make a few marks, leave a few stains
    Might slam just a little too hard
    Might take it just a little too far
    Might burn out like a firework,
    Like a shooting star across the sky
    And we may not be around in 20 years but they're sure gonna know we were here
    Yeah, they're sure gonna know we were here

    People talk girl
    You know damn well
    When they got a good tale to tell
    Let's give them something they ain't never seen
    A little rated R redneck dream
    Let's blaze a trail through the dirty south
    Or give them something they can talk about
    A little story that they won't forget
    Long after we ride off into the sunset
    Baby, 'cause we ain't dead yet, baby

    Ain't scared to ride this train
    Make a few marks, leave a few stains
    Might slam just a little too hard
    Might take it just a little too far
    Might burn out like a firework,
    Like a shooting star across the sky
    Yeah we may not be around in 20 years, but they're sure gonna know we were here

    We only get one chance around
    This runaway roller coaster train
    And it ain't slowing down
    So baby let go and remember our name

    Ain't scared to ride this train
    Make a few marks, leave a few stains
    Might slam just a little too hard
    Might take it just a little too far
    Might burn out like a firework,
    Like a shooting star across the sky
    Yeah we may not be around in 20 years
    No, we may not be around in 20 years, but they're sure gonna know we were here
    Yeah, they're sure gonna know we were here Writer/s: Brett Beavers, Brett James Cornelius
